Alaea is the traditional Hawaiian sea salt used to season and preserve. Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt is non-processed and rich in trace minerals, all of which are found in sea water. A small amount of harvested reddish Hawaiian clay (‘Alae) enriches the salt with Iron-Oxide. Traditionally, Hawaiians use Alaea salt in ceremonies to cleanse, purify, and bless tools and canoes, as well as in healing rituals for medicinal purposes. Savor a unique and pleasant flavor while roasting or grilling meats. It is the traditional and authentic seasoning for native Hawaiian dishes such as Kalua Pig, Hawaiian Jerky, and Poke.

I bought the coarse grind as I have my own grinder. Alaea Volcanic Red Sea Salt has a wonderful flavor. I highly recommend

Missing the moist red Hawaiian sea salt

This is a very dry salt, it is not moist like the Hawaiian sea salt I am used to, which has a deep red color and is slightly moist to the touch. I am guessing that if it is missing moisture it is also missing the minerals that add that extra bump in flavor, I was not happy with this salt.

Fabulous customer service!

I have this salt in a crock pig by the stove. The product is very flavorful!Customer service is the key. The shop emailed me to give me the choice of coarse ground, since the shipment of fine ground was delayed. Very thoughtful, and even "delayed" was pretty quick! Well done.

Good salt

This salt has a great flavor, is lovely to look at and is the perfect size, not too coarse, not as fine as table salt.

excellent

i never use refined table salts so this just suits me fine! it will not turn dishes a funny color the way black volcanic salts do, so don't worry!

Awesome!

Sea salt is now the only salt I ever use. This is especially tasty sprinkled over edamame (soy bean pods) right before serving. I buy the coarse grind and "grind" my own using a mortar and pestle when I want the finer, table salt grind. This is an outstanding sea salt at a very reasonable price.

Favorite Sea Salt

As somewhat of a self-described connoisseur of sea salt, this Alaea Volcanic Red Sea Salt is the best I've tried. I keep check on my supply and as soon as it begins to get low, I have to visit [...] again. The foods I prepare in my kitchen just seem to have a better flavor since I've used it and compliments from guests are a given. It is especially good on fresh vegetables, e.g., stir fry dishes, where the salt is added after cooking.
